Today was a day of firsts: first hallway walk, first sitting up in a chair, and first SUBWAY Spicy Italian sub! It is so hard to believe that just 48 hours ago Max was so sick that the doctors really didn't know how to safely extubate him. Looking at him today I almost forgot that earlier in the week his heart and lungs were both not functioning properly. Max never ceases to amaze me, he can go from super sick to his typical goofy self in a matter of hours. It is nothing less than a miracle and we are so truly blessed and thankful!
Because Max has spent nine solid days in bed they had him start working with a physical therapist today as well as with the Pain Management Team so that he can be safely weaned from all the narcotics they have been snowing him with. I now know how Lindsey Lohan's mother must feel, my ten year old is a candidate for drug rehab!
Praying that each day Max gets stronger and closer to the door. We all want nothing more than to be home!
Stay tuned.....
